Description

Original report (archived issue) by Alejandro Castro (Bitbucket: amcastro0622).

In what frame is the normal specified? is the frame of the / to which the geometry belongs? (ideal) or is that the model frame? (non-ideal).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the SDFormat specification to confirm that the normal is specified in the frame of the parent <visual> or <collision> element. Then update the documentation for sdf::Plane::Normal() to clarify this.
